MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The RTF file contains an OLE object that is automatically linked and updated, exploiting CVE-2017-0199. This exploit is designed to fetch and execute a remote resource, indicated by the embedded URL http://192.168.0.134/ms/ms.rtf, which likely serves as a secondary payload.
